Truth is the guy gets so much attention when he starts doing things any NFL Qb should be doing. NFL superstars or above average QBs do not need to have star wide receivers, TE, RB and the best o-lines. He's not that good. His pocket presence is below average. His long ball is below average. His accuracy is below average. All he does is check down over and over. Three different offensive coordinators and we still can't run a successful pass offense. I really believe it's because Andy cannot read zone coverage. The offense looks way different with AJ McCarron who throws all over the field and a way better long ball I may add.
Carson's last year I was saying he was done. Nobody wanted to believe it and we would have been stuck with him regressing had he not pulled the plug himself because there's no accountability here. Look no further than Nugent.
I just really wish people would get off Daltons knob for occasionally/rarely doing things any NFL QB should be doing.
